NATIONAL WATER SIJ VET
The UA. public health service
will soon make a sweeping survey
to determine the effects of water
shortage and water pollution on
the nations health.
Federal health officials private-
; of facilities
ly report that the lack
to decontaminate river water
which meet Americans drink Is
shocking. A sudden breakdown of
these subgrade facilities they my

Mora than 10000
deansing units are needed
throughout the nation to decon-
taminate drinking water taken
from rivers and taring it up to
proper health and taste standards.
COMMUNIST CAPTIVES
Though tha heat was taken oft
the Chinese Communists after
Angus Wards release the state

two other Americans from Com-

Road Highway
Costs Are Down
By SAM DAWSON
New York Dee. 29 (ff) American taxpayers are ex-
pected to put up a record 2 billion next year for roads and
highways. Today they have the cheering word they might
save 5200 million on the deal
That is because road construction costs are down about
10 per cent from their 1948 peak and may even drop another
five per cent while highway labor productivity is reported up.
The resulting saving on nextp
years road bill could mean either
$200 million far more roads or a
$200 million reduction in taxes.
However dont count your tax
savings before they are hatched.
Taxee often go up rarely come
down. '
Fart ef the eeet ef building
highways la borne by taxee me-
terista pay. The annual burden
ef state and federal gasoline
and aatomotiva taxes now mas
"alarmingly eioee to $109 a
vehicle." according to Baird H.
Markham director ef the Amer-
ican Fetrrieum Industries com-
mittee ef the American Fetre-
leum inafituteb
Markham elaborates on a sub-
ject naturally very close to the
institutes heart: "The gasoline
tax nationally averages about IS
per cent of the retail price of
this product"
From' ell parte of the nation
comes the cheering word that
while the United States launches
itself on its greatest road build-
ing spree eoita are on their way
down. .
Mamachusette reports that con-
tractors recently bid 20 to 30 per
cent lower than tha states esti-
mate of road construction costa.
Colorado finds construction costs
down 12 per cent Arkansas re-
joices in a similar drop but wor-
ries lest the minimum wage hike
to 75 cents an hour next month
may wipe out tha gain.
California finds that by mid
ion a
gineer far California reports on

f Increased tabor productivity

to more competition far Jobe.

availability of materials at
guaranteed prices plus tha stable
supply of labor lets contractors
cut tha contingency items in their
bids.
ta Tha drop In material prices
far the first time since 1940.
Under this he lists excavation
costs doom IS per cent from lest
year; Class B Portland cement
down 12 per cent; bar reinforcing
steel down 12 per cent; and struc-
tural steel down 24 per cent
Whether the reeert hike ef

cement k a mere Important eeet
item in reads than steel.
And some might add to Wil-
son! reasons the gain from the
use of newer and better equip-
ment increasingly available since
the war.
This year the nation is esti-
mated to have spent $1.7 billion
on Its roads a record. A
highls expected next year.
om reason the automobile
industry has Just turned out a
record number of new vehicles
and the total on tha roads is tha
greatest In history.
Costly new highway systems
often scam inadequate by the
time they can be completed.
